🌿 REAL CLIENT QUESTION: What is castor oil actually good for?
Let's talk about one of those beautiful, old-fashioned skincare ingredients that deserves a little more attention.
Castor oil is a rich, conditioning oil that helps soften the skin and reduce moisture loss, leaving it feeling smoother, nourished and more supple. It is also being studied for its potential antioxidant and skin-supporting benefits.
Then there's frankincense 🌿
Frankincense has long been used in traditional skincare, and research into Boswellia compounds has shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, with some evidence of improvements in skin roughness and the appearance of fine lines.
So who might enjoy it?
✨ Dry or dehydrated-feeling skin
✨ Skin that feels rough or tight
✨ Mature skin needing extra nourishment
✨ Anyone wanting a simple, rich facial oil to add to their evening routine
How to use it
Apply a few drops to clean, slightly damp skin, preferably in the evening. Gently press or massage it into the skin rather than applying a large amount.
You can also use a small amount over your moisturiser to help seal in hydration.
A little goes a long way.
As with any botanical or essential-oil-containing product, patch testing is a good idea, especially if you have sensitive skin.
